I’m curious about the roles of RB and PCB at Chase in Los Angeles California. The bank has reached out to me and mention that starting salary is $42k a year plus bonus/commission. They are implying its fixed, but I’m imagining that’s how they want it to look. If I get offered the job, I want to negotiate up to $48k to $52k. Is this realistic? I don’t want to be insulting but I also don’t want to leave money on the table. I have an MBA, 1 year of experience in financial services, and my series 6,7, and 63.

Chase will not negotiate very much on the base pay. I wouldn’t bank on maybe 2-3k. In terms of commission- unless you’re willing to do a lot of cold calling make sure your branch is in an affluent area with high foot traffic AND make friends with the teller as they will be your life line referrals. I worked for WAMU then chase in the branches along with my husband for a number of years and I personally find them a soul sucking company. So make sure if you’re hourly you take your breaks and if salary and travel record all mileage etc
